Title: I Wonder...How to Wonder

Last week we discovered the triangular shape of Jesus' life. This week we seek to pattern our lives off of Jesus' life. As Jesus was UP, IN, and OUT, Grace 242 is called to Being, Making, and, Multiplying Disciples. 
 
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42-47

This week in our "Simple Mission" series we look at the triangular shape of Jesus' life. Luke 6:12-19 follows Jesus as He is UP with the Father, IN with His disciples, and OUT with the crowds. Jesus' life takes a triangular shape which means we ought to pattern our lives in the same way. 
 
Scripture Reading: Luke 6:12-19

Our "Simple Mission" series continues with a look at the Great
Commission. From Jesus' ascension through the first three centuries the church was a weird, disciple-making movement. But Roman Emperor Constantine changed the church from a disciple-making movement, to a central cultural institution. Now that Grace 242 has gone from house churches to a worship location, how can we stay weird?
 
Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:18-20

Continuing in our "Simple Mission" series, today we look at Mary of Bethany to see how she exemplifies a disciple - a learner of Jesus. 

Scripture Reading: Luke 10:38-42
